The wait for July 17th has not been an easy one for those abstaining from Life Is Good track releases and it’s not about to get any easier. Just 24 hours after the release of the grimy “Loco-motive,” “Cherry Wine,” Nas’ heavily anticipated collaboration with Amy Winehouse, has hit the net. A more soulful, midnight stroll vibe of a record than the previous drops from Life Is Good, “Cherry Wine” fits nicely within the throwback sound that has emanated from the album so far.

If you like what you hear, Terry Urban’s Me & Mr. Jones – a mix of songs from the two “Cherry Wine” collaborators recognizing Nas’ upcoming album release and the one year anniversary of Winehouse’s passing – might peak your interest. And as if there weren’t enough new songs out to test the patience of even the most ardent Nas supporters, the snippets for Life Is Good are also available for your listening pleasure.
